John left the seat but Drag Racing did not leave his blood and as long as Danny, Ashley, Adria, Brittany are around JFR is in good hands ... and I could see Graham / Courtney getting involved

JFR is like many family run businesses. The founder retires, moves on or passes away and family members keep it going. Ashley Adria, Courtney, etc. need to make money to live on the rest of their lives and it may be they choose to take over the family business and that’s their source of income.

Plus 2027 is going to be “50 Years of Force,”

Now you've got me fantasizing about Ashley or Courtney returning for the 2027 season......I know, I know, very much a pipe dream!

Plus 2027 is going to be “50 Years of Force,”

Good retirement year haha

It’s traditionally the third generation that sinks the company. First gen founds. Second gen builds and thrives. Third gen straight in the toilet.

True. I worked at one of those places once...LOL
While you're correct in the odds pick, I'd much prefer not to see that happen as would many other folks.
John has said he wasn't sure what God had planned for him and it's probably just that plain old greatness that I've seen - but in a larger family, there's better odds that just one of them cares deeply about their own heritage enough to carry on.
If Tasca runs the table on everyone, more power to 'em all, John's handed out a lot of whippings and in this biz but you have to be able to take 'em too.
To me, if it's this or being a "cheeseburger technician", I wouldn't think it over too long!

Jim Dunn it still has his finger in it. If John ages well, I'd say as long as he's got air in his lungs he'll do the same.

The writing was on the wall at JFR. Hight's retiring; Brittany retiring, John himself retiring and after 25 years at JFR (minus the 1 year hiatus), Jimmy himself may have been wondering if it was time for a change. Tasca's boys sensed it too; realized their operation was competitive but not championship-competitive and decided to make the move on the Procks who agreed as long as a ride for Austin (and a substantial pay raise) came with the deal. No doubt that after they presented their plan to Bob III he warmed to the idea. And that was that. That's all opinion but I bet it's pretty close to how it went down.

Force Racing ain't dead yet, tho. 4 quality drivers and some kickass crew chiefs are ready and rarin' to go. As I see it the biggest mountain to climb at JFR is the roughly $20 million/year needed to fund 4 competitive nitro teams. I hope they find the money and stay out there; the sport can't afford to lose JFR.

Actually JFR only needs to fund 2 cars.
Alexis is racing on her own $$$ which is pretty much unlimited.
Josh has Monster and his contributions.
Jack and Jordan I imagine aren't bringing anything to the table.
Jmo?

In the interview on NHRA site today John states " Brittany is still working with Monster on a [personal services agreement], so she’s excited about that. She’s going to Florida with us in a few weeks." I have heard that Monster will continue with JFR however in a smaller capacity.
